Plot

Oobi and Uma are at the playground. Uma is excited to go on the swings, and she asks the viewers to join her in chanting "sa-wing!". Oobi asks Uma if she wants to play on the seesaw, but Uma would rather spend the day on the swings. Before she swings, Oobi demonstrates how to swing carefully. Uma grows impatient and ignores what Oobi says. She attempts to swing as fast as she can, causing her to fall off. She begins to cry loudly as Grampu rushes over and comforts her. Uma feels better, but has developed a fear of the swing set, calling it "bad".

Oobi asks Uma if she wants to try again and she declines. Oobi tries to calm her down by playing on the slide, making sure that she does not injure herself again. They slide down together at first. They take turns sliding later on. On his turn, however, Oobi decides to twirl around and falls off prematurely. This serves as a reminder to him that it is very important to be careful at the playground. Oobi asks Uma if she has the courage to try swinging again. She tells him that she will try, this time listening to Oobi's advice.

Uma swings carefully and is astonished to be swinging by herself. She calls Kako and Grampu to watch. After they swing, Oobi plays a number game with the other characters, using the number 4. Uma wants to play another game and suggests giving each other piggyback rides. The four puppets piggyback on top of each other and fall down shortly afterwards, laughing. The episode ends.

Cast

Trivia

  • The short "Slide!" also takes place at the playground, although the slide is noticeably different from the one featured here.
  • According to a press release, "Swing!" was the original title for this episode.
  • During the scenes where Oobi and Uma are using the slide, there are cuts between takes, likely because the puppeteers could not easily slide their arms down.
  • The counting game segment takes place at the same park that is visited at the end of the "New Friend!" episode.
